Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
hear my urgent cry.
I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me. - Psalm 86:1-7 Favorite Blogs: |

My foot is feeling better, but I can still feel a slight case of tendonitis so I am going to take today off. I had wrapped it all day yesterday and that seemed to help. I don't think it is PF as I don't have the typical symptoms, but I am going to take it easy nonetheless.
2 miles easy with the kids around the neighborhood. Foot feeling ok, but this is all I wanted to do today (enjoyed the nice weather though!). A good relaxation run after a better than expected meeting at church. Now off to a BBQ at Gray and Kari's!
I am going to be in the Herriman, Utah area on Saturday for my wife's bike ride (Goldilock's) and am interested in getting together with some folks for a run. Walter? Rob? James? Any planned runs? I will need to drop off my wife at around 7-8am but then I will be ready for a run! |

Out the door at 4:30 to meet Gray near the start of his 20 miler. I ran about 5 miles with Gray down Sunnyside and through SRL, then peeled back home as he continued around the greenbelt. Foot was feeling ok (really slow pace) but around mile 8 and to the finish I felt a few twinges. Not too worried but will still take this week easier and watch it. Finished off 10 miles in 1:26...told you it was slow. Good to have the company and see Gray this early in the morning. (Ride)
6.25 miles in 43 minutes (6:52 average) on a beautiful day at lunch around the greenbelt loop. Foot felt much better, a few twinges but noticably on the mend.
Maybe a few more miles tonight with Justin getting him ready for the 6th grade track meet. He is doing the long jump, 200m and 4x100m relay. Ran to the school with Justin and his friend Travis to practice 200m. 0.25M to school, 3x200m with 200m recovery. Boys did good, need to work on knee drive. They made me do a fast 400m (77 seconds, slow but right on what I predicted with all the 90 degree turns). 0.25M home for a total of 1.75M. (Fastwitch) |

4:30am...slow untimed and easy 10K with Moxie along Sunnyside. Tired this morning, hard to get going but no more foot issues so I think it is clearing up. (Ride)
4 untimed miles in beautiful weather on the desert. Even though this is untimed, I am counting as MP effort due to the workout. I focused on front side mechanics for the entire 4 miles (maximize quad activation/push, minimize hamstring activation/pull or clawing) to work on my overall race efficiency. Did good for the first 3 miles, the last mile was harder not to revert back to my default mechanism (primarily a hamstring runner). While I don't have the time, the effort and rough timing was consistent with a slow MP workout. (Cortana) |

4:30am...all I could muster up today was 5 easy untimed miles with Moxie on Sunnyside. Around 4.5 miles my ankle twinged a bit so I headed home. Today could be a crappy day at work...(Ride)
A gorgeous day at lunchtime, good to get out after a pretty stressful morning at work. Decided to try and do some speedwork and I was mostly successful. 1.75M warmup, then I ran 8x0.25M with 0.25M recovery along the river. EVERY split was exactly 1:19, so consistent just had no speed in my legs today. Cooldown back to the office for a total of 6.8 miles in 47 minutes (6:55 average). Foot and ankle felt great during the run, but afterwards a bit stiff in the right ankle. Still, I think it is on the mend. (Cortana) |

I was too tired to get up and run this morning, so I slept in and will try to get a run in before my noon meeting and again during my kid's Taekwando class tonight.
5 miles on a cool and very windy day in 36:30 before my lunch time meeting. Just got out to get in an easy run. (Kinvara)
5 miles in a warmer and less windy evening while the kids were at TaeKwando. Total time...36:30, again consistent but slow. (Fastwitch) |

4:40am...6 easy untimed miles with Moxie. I saw Alana and Shannon out early this morning, good to see friendly faces out in the cold and dark, warms up the run! Tired again, had a hard twing at 5.9 miles into the run (nearly stopped me in my tracks) but it went away quickly. (Ride)
Heading out today for Kami's ride at the Goldilock's Century tomorrow, looking forward to seeing her ride strong once again! |

Didn't sleep too well last night but got up early to get Kami ready for her Century Ride at Goldilocks. Dress, ate breakfast and made our way out to Herriman for the start. She took off at 7am then I went back to town to meet Rob for a run.
We ran the Dimple Dell gully trail and then extended up the roads to the Little Cottonwood Canyon (Dimple Dell Road, Mt. Jordan Rd, Little Cottonwood Rd to NFS campground) and back (cut off through Granit Park to the trial, we saw Justin Park here!) for 13.25 miles in around 1:38. Thanks for the great run, Rob! I always like our runs and conversations!
Got to the hotel, collect all our stuff then went out to find and support Kami on her ride. She had a flat tire around 50 miles and I got there as fast as I could with our pump to get her rolling again. Ate lunch with her at mile 57, then shadowed her to about mile 80. Then I went to the finish line and ran 4.25 miles while waiting for her to arrive. Overall a great day as she rocked her full century ride today, I am so proud of her! She didn't give in mentally to cut the ride shorter and proved to herself that she is "stronger than she thinks" (to use the PowerBar tagline).
Made the drive home and am enjoying time with the family now before celebrating Mother's Day tomorrow. |
